Queer Story About the Swallows-Origin
Of the Isarnacie Goose-A Question.
The flight of storks has given trouble to the
Germans and the C.Inese, while the disap
pearance and the temperance of the swal
lows have caused untold trouble everywhere.
Learned bodies, like the French academy and
the Royal society of London, have gravely
asserted that in the fall swallows plunge into
the mud or MARSHES and mill ponds, become
torpid, and hibernate like frogs or snakes. l
have seen list of nearly 200 articles written
all along from the middle of the seventeenth
century down to 1877, for the purpose of
proving or disproving the Information of
swallows and other birds. And Dr. Coues
says he can lay his hands upon papers of that
period which discuss the migration of swal-
lows to the moon, the falling of the little
quaprupeds called Jennings in showers from
the clouds, and the origin Of brant geese from
barnacles that grew on trees.
Indeed, not year ago / was assured by a
gentleman of more than average intelligence
that this last is undoubtedly the correct theory.

AT END OF PAIN.

The brief, dark life is over. Thou hast found
That sweet deep rest, which through such lone
some days,
And nights when sleep forsook thee, thou did'st
praise
With envious longing. In deaths silence drowned,
No clamoring bells with their Intrusive sound,
No noise of traffic in the city Is maze,
Or hurrying footsteps through its stormy ways,
VIII try the slumber in which thou art bound.
Tired head tired heart tired spirit, all at rest
Since for the weary rest is Death first boon
Rest-and then, after rest, the waking joy,
The sudden rapture, by new life possest,
The swift, sure glory of the Heavens high noon,
The long lost mothers welcome to her boy!
